It is hereby declared to be the established policy of this
state that conformity of a use, method of use, or method of diversion
of water with local custom shall not be solely determinative of its
reasonableness, but shall be considered as one factor to be weighed
in the determination of the reasonableness of the use, method of use,
or method of diversion of water, within the meaning of Section 2 of
Article X of the California Constitution.
